Chloe during her first dental visit with Dr Leblanc. They are really good doctors.. but i can also see that they are not equipped for children.. like the ones we have back home. At time like this.. i wished i was home in Singapore. Chloe behaved pretty good.. but she got frightened after a while but that was expected. And we are still waiting for the other dentist to call .. to fix up .. an appt for her fillings. That I’m not looking forward to.

Weddings are such joyous occasion and even though we say, it should never be stressful, who are we kidding..?? Never had i been to a wedding that the bride wasn’t stressed up.. and some even worst, didn’t want to get married because she wasn’t getting the right help or the spouse just wouldn’t lift a finger to help .. but that’s another story for another day.

Wedding Planning is all about delegation and getting the right helping hand and of course a comprehensive wedding planning site that has free interactive planning tools, expert advice, a local vendor guide and resources that are just a click away, does makes it alot easier for the bride and the groom. For anyone to say that there is no stress in planning his or her wedding.. well.. you and I know it is not true.. but with some good planning.. it can be a less stressful one.. and an almost enjoyable and memorable one.

This is Boston .. a cute lil’ 2 yr old.. who came for Chloe’s birthday party.. with his parents. And you would really be envious.. because he is such a tough lil’ boy..! and he eats just about everything.. and anything. He was on Chloe’s cake.. and all the snacks.. that we had put out. It was such a joy to see the kid eat.. especially when mine .. wouldn’t open her golden mouth..!

The brat picks up so quickly.. from movies and the way we speak.. and the way other’s speak to her. She as you will know in a min.. that she had been watching the Simpsons movie ALOT. Why..?? because she had been asking us for hot cocoa.. for the last few days.. and tonite.. just before she dozed off.. she said.. to me.. “will you give me hot cocoa . . and put some marshmallow in it..??” .. and then she “konk” out. And where did she get that idea from..? for a kid.. who NEVER wanna try new food or drinks.. or just about anything..?? The Simpson’s Movie of course..!

When i first had my lil’ brat, you cannot imagined how overwhelming it was for me. Being a first time mother.. and at 39 .. it certainly was nerve racking, plus being in a foreign country didn’t make it any better. There were far too many questions that i needed to ask and wanted like-minded couples/mummies to share with me, unfortunately being in a country that I don’t really have lots of friends made it even harder than it was already for me.

There are stuff that I wanted to know .. without having to sit in front of the computer.. going through pages and pages of advertisement trying to choose from baby product to maternity clothings and bras and just about anything. Because my spouse is also a first time dad, it is really hard to expect him to know alot too.
